Auroras on Jupiter's giant moon Ganymede look like Earth's northern lights, NASA spacecraft reveals
Ganymede's auroras splinter into small, bright patches — structures that mirror features seen in Earth's own auroral displays ...
Ganymede, Jupiter’s largest moon, produces auroras like Earth’s. New data from Juno reveals surprising details about its magnetic field.

Not all of the solar system’s building blocks formed simultaneously. Some of the first solid bodies, or planetesimals, formed in the first million years after the Sun was born. Others, including the ...
Auroras are created when high-energy particles enter a planet’s atmosphere near its magnetic poles and collide with atoms or molecules of gas. On Earth, these are known as the northern lights (aurora ...
A new scientific study suggests that Earth might not exist as we know it today if Jupiter were never around. Astronomers believe Jupiter’s strong gravity has helped keep our planet’s orbit safe and ...
New research suggests that Jupiter’s icy moons may have formed with complex organic molecules already embedded in their building blocks.
Jupiter will make its closest approach to Earth in 59 years on Monday, according to NASA. The largest planet in our solar system, the gas giant will be at opposition, meaning Earth is directly between ...
The great planetary instability, which saw Jupiter and the other gas giants wander chaotically through the solar system, coincides with the collision that formed Earth's moon. Could the two events be ...
How did Jupiter’s formation shape the solar system, and specifically Earth’s orbit? This is what a recent study published in Science Advances hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the ...
